Serendipity, Zemblanity, and everything else life has to offer…
What does your workspace look like?

Have not had time to decorate, so pretty much stacks of folders and paperwork….thinking of a Dibert theme.
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?

Full-ride invest in my kids college funds (i.e. 529), ladder CDs for a safe haven and invest in the market, and spend the rest to go to med school in the Caribbean– in that order…so first would be to set up an iron-clad program for my kid’s future success.

M.D. – General Practitioner for an area in-need in the US (rural or city).
When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

What is something you learned in the last week?

That the Stratosphere rides are absolutely terrifying.
